Our Vision

The vision of the Eric Paredes Save A Life Foundation is that sudden cardiac arrest will be exposed as a grave and overlooked health risk affecting young people, which will lead to mandatory cardiac screenings and the required placement of AEDs in schools and youth centers.

Our Mission

Through awareness, education and action, our mission is to influence families, educators, elected officials and the medical community to recognize the incidence of youth SCA/D and the importance of preventative heart screenings, and to support equipping schools with automated external defibrillators (AED) plus CPR/AED training.

Our Purpose

Saving lives is paramount to our mission and prevention is the goal.

Facilitate awareness and education of the signs and symptoms of SCA

Coordinate youth heart screenings that use a cardiac questionnaire, EKG and if indicated, echocardiogram to identify youth at risk, as well as other abnormal cardiac conditions requiring follow up
